I had to dig up the lid on the tank and on the cover of a junction box (old and new part of the house runs to it) that is in the side yard. It turned out to be plugged in the line between the box and the tank. I got it open. Had to clean the box out. Filled with grease and toilet paper. Not fun.

I am so glad I'm on a sewer, we had all kinds of issues with the septic tanks, one of our station boxes collapsed, the lady next door flushed a pantload of sodium hypochlorate bleach, that kinda stuff.

Had that happen a few yrs back. About this time. Had to get a 55 gal drum, cut a 8" hole in it and set it over the clean out. Then ran a space heater for 48 hrs before it thawed out. Was a real pain in the arse, but it worked!

At least it was a nice day to be out side! Oh the fun of owning your own home.

Hello GM and CT2 and everyone!

I am careful about what goes in my main tank. The clothes washer is on a seperate system. That helps. I want to go on city but they want 20 grand to make the run. Even on the city this would have been an issue.

We were put on the city sewer back when we had the septic, no choice in the matter. The next house was on sewer when we moved in, and my house has always been on sewer.

I have a septic, and am in the process of buying another acre of ground next to me for the purpose of running a leach bed if ever needed.

I am in the county so I can't be forced to go on it. But they can make it hard to fix or replace it. If they want to put me on it and pay for it I'd be fine with it.

My FIL put in a 1000 gallon tank, two 500 gallon dry wells and one drain field. The only issue I ever have is at the f'ing junction box. It clogs about every 5 years. Grrrr

Come up Keystone or even Allisonville instead of 31/Meridian. Go to 116th and you'll get to the heart of Fishers. If you come up Keystone then 116th, you'll pass almost within spitting distance of me. Not that I'd spit at you, unless you wanted me to, but you may hate me enough to hawk a loogie my way. Anyway, 31 is kind of a mess, and I refuse to devote any mindspace to keeping up with where it's open until it's done.

The route we have mapped out takes me down 31 to 38 and over to Little Chicago Road/Hazeldell Road to 116th and then east to her place. She is just east of 69 a little bit in a subdivision right off of 116th.

Hello mom45!

Hi CT2... I've been lurking and crocheting. Yesterday, I started a shawl/shrug thing to wear to the fancy dancy art show with my dress on Thursday. I am almost done. Not sure yet if I like it...if not, I may make another one of a different pattern.
